The park, traditionally known as La Hoya, is set to be given a new name Jardines del Mediterraneo once opened, following its enormous transformation.
The works are now in their final phase.
In recent weeks the perimeter fence has been installed and will serve as access to the park. The fence is expected to be expanded at some point in the future due to more work planned for the area.
The mayor confirmed: “The public lighting of La Hoya has been adapted to the environment, so it blends in with the surroundings.
“We have been careful with the sustainable choice of the components of the light installation to take care of nocturnal visual pollution.”

ROQUETAS de Mar Town Council has now made public its plans for the future Roquetas de Mar Fairgrounds. This is so that citizens and interested parties can make any disapprovals and contributions they deem appropriate, in favour of municipal transparency.
The land planned to be used is located to the north of the centre of Roquetas de Mar, near the Rambla Vícar Sur or del Vínculo and the Alicun Highway, from which they are accessed.
The land is made up of discontinuous plots formed by the currently undeveloped plot between Calle Merida and Avenidas Union Europea and Reino de Espana and by the plot of land which houses the municipal food market.
